South Beach Diet Phase One Recipes Round-Up for May 2010 (Low-Glycemic Recipes)

Another month has ended, so it's time for the monthly round-up of South Beach Diet Phase One recipes I've posted this month or spotted on other blogs. If you over-indulged a bit on Memorial Day, these recipes can help you get back on track, but even if you're not dieting, I bet you'll see something in this list that looks appealing. Welcome to June, one of my favorite months because I love cooking with herbs from the garden, and much thanks to my talented brother Rand for the charming new herb-focused blog header!

As always, in this round-up there are some recipes that only need minor changes to make them South Beach Diet friendly, so those things are noted after the recipe listing. Of course, there are always good Phase One recipe that I don't manage to spot, so if you're a food blogger who's posted something you think might be good for Phase One, see after the recipe links for how to submit it.

Phase one menus for the South Beach Diet focus on lean meats, seafood, eggs, dried beans, soy products, low-fat dairy products, nuts and seeds, and most vegetables. Phase one doesn't permit fruit, alcohol, bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, sugar, or any foods high in saturated fat. Obviously I miss lots of phase one recipes, so if you're a food blogger who posted a recipe this month that you think would be approved for phase one, please feel free to e-mail me the link at kalynskitchen (at) comcast (dot) net. I'll take a look, and if the recipe is phase-one friendly, I'll add it to next months roundup. (Please don't leave recipe links in the comments. They will not be published.)

What a great post!! I am not a south beach follower, though my eating is similar (real, whole foods - no white flour, no sugar)...but these are the types of recipes I am on the lookout for. And to find them all in one place is great! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for including my artichokes in the roundup! Meant to tell you that my aunt and I tried your Mustard, Lemon, and Coriander Grilled Chicken Breasts with Lemon-Basil Vinaigrette the other night and they were great!

As always, the Phase One round-up is an invaluable for everyone who's being a bit careful this month, whether or not they're following South Beach. Thanks again for the time you put into creating these posts each month. (And thanks to Rand for the beautiful fresh herb banner!)

Lydia, doesn't Rand do a great job on the headers? He's the best brother you could hope for!

Erika, the Thai dish I order most is Chicken with Peppers and Thai Basil and I ask to have my food made without sugar. Most restaurants will accommodate that (in fact, in my favorite Thai restaurant, when I say "no sugar" they say "oh yes, authentic Thai." If you stick with something that's has veggies and meat and don't eat the rice, quite a few Thai dishes are okay without the sugar.

Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!

Comments don't appear on the blog until they're approved by me, so no need to try again if you don't see it when you post the comment! Please make your signature a link to your site if you're a blogger, but other links posted within the body of the comment will never be published.

Food Blogger Love!
